Front damper and springs
Hi Guys,
I have a leaking damper and thought it best to replace the whole lot on both sides. unfortunately, I can't see the part numbers I need as the label under the rear seat has been polished off. All I can see is either "RR or RB or BB or RR Spring" as the letter aren't properly legible. On the strut i can see "FM White Delphi Spain" and a number "?2191038, FT024". I cant tell what the first ? character is. THe coloured markings on the springs are long gone! My chassis number is SARRJLLHC4D317939. Can anyone advise? regards Rich |

I can not help you, but I am sure Marinabrian or Trikey will be along shortly to give you a definitive answer. You are in Leeds, why not ask Big Russ his advice. He lives in Leeds.

Comfort spec will be Red/Brown springs, 'sports' spec will be 'Brown/Brown' i cannot remember the specs for struts, but they are listed on that page. Sport spec was not a common fitment apparently. But keep in mind the condition of the roads you will be driving on when deciding.

As your car is 170BHP - would suggest the sports version ?

As your car is at 170bhp (how was this attained by the way?) i would have thought Sports version.

Sports suspension was generally a standard fit on early ZTs but replaced with comfort spec as it was found to be a bit harsh.
The build inf on your car says it's a later model so I would say it's comfort suspension it is on my ZT which came off the line 3 days after yours! Build info on yours if your interested Vehicle Information vin RJLLHC4D317939 vin_sequence 317939 off_assembly_date Tuesday, 6th January 2004 @ 09:04:50 model ZT variant CDTi + (135) num_doors 4 paint_code LEF brochure_model_desc ZT D - ENTRY PLUS(2.0 M47 M2) sales_model_derivative RNQAH sales_model_derivative_desc MG ZT + 135 CDTi sequence_number 18271 spec_code L01B home_export HOME cicode E4211 country GREAT BRITAIN exterior_paint XPower Grey interior_trim Sports Black Leather engine 2000 Diesel trimlevel TL 7.1 (M2) bodytype ZT manual_auto M hand_of_drive RHD model_year 2001 sold_date 2004-02-01 00:00:00 registering_cicode A3756 n09_feature N09A General Information This vehicle was the 12,982nd ZT to run off the production line, out of 18,894 This vehicle was the 1,960th ZT CDTi + (135) to be made out of 4,184 This vehicle was the 1,713th ZT in XPower Grey (code: LEF) to be made out of 3,143 XPower Grey ZTs Hope this helps Scott |
